Alcohol use and cardiometabolic risk in the UK Biobank: A Mendelian randomization study.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2021

Abstract excerpt

Observational studies suggest alcohol use promotes the development of some adverse cardiometabolic traits but protects against others including outcomes related to coronary artery disease. We used Mendelian randomization (MR) to explore causal relationships between the degree of alcohol consumption and several cardiometabolic traits in the UK Biobank. Using the well-established ADH1B Arg47His variant (rs1229984)...
